Description

These three short letters were written to scattered believers living as foreigners, far from anything like home. They hold gold tested in a crucible, grass that withers by summer, stones set one by one into a wall, a flock coming back to the fold at dusk, a basket of worries set down, an old fisherman’s tent about to come down, a lamp burning in a dark place until the morning star rises, wells with no water in them, and a narrow path that ends in glory.

This book walks through them in forty short poems, in five parts: two for 1 Peter, two for 2 Peter, and one for Jude. Each poem sits beside a picture and under a single line of Scripture. The pictures stay with the things the letters touch—a clay lamp, a sealed jar, a broken loaf, a fig tree tied to a stake—and leave the faces to your imagination.
